I think this razor is above all others in my arsenal!

SOTN - Single-Edge Sunday 


prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goat’s Milk Original Formula bar soap
razor - Schick type K1 "Lady Eversharp"
blade - Schick injector (20)
brush - Stirling 2-Band Synthetic
soap - Proraso Red Cream
post - warm water rinse, DSA “Pure & Natural” alum, cold water rinse
aftershave - Proraso Red splash

I was impressed with the blade. This razor loaded with this particular blade had been sitting on the shelf collecting dust since some time in late 2019, if I recall correctly. It was still good, with no rust or anything. I had rinsed it well after the 19th use (thank you, Hydro-Magic lever) and just parked it on the shelf. 
The Lady Eversharp is my favourite single-edge razor that I own (along with two other Schick injectors and a RazoRock Hawk). The extra-long handle doesn't bother me because it's mostly plastic and it balances well.
Sharp enough for a BBS but still super smooth.

The Caprina soap bar was down to a 4 g sliver, but still creamy. I welded it back onto a brand-new 90 g bar. What a treat that was. I'm easy to please.

Also a treat is the shea butter residue from the Proraso Red aftershave splash.
